Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Jupiter, FL
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers remove moisture from the structure, with daily readings logged from the material itself for claim documentation. Structural drying brings building materials back to a documented dry standard using air movers and dehumidifiers rather than surface evaporation alone. Moisture readings are logged through the process so the substrate, not just the surface, is confirmed dry before anything is rebuilt.
Frequently asked questions
Seventy inches. Does the ground ever recover?
Less often than almost anywhere, and that is the practical meaning of the figure. Through the wet season the profile rarely drains completely before the next storm arrives, so ground that would recover elsewhere does not. Anything at or below grade is under a longer-running load here, and a small leak has considerably more time to do damage than the same leak would further north.
The river is high and it has not rained for two days.
A river discharging through a tidal inlet can only let go at the rate the tide allows, so it holds water after a storm and releases it over the following tide cycles. What that means practically is that a second storm arriving before the first has cleared meets a river with no room in it. Following the inlet's tide alongside the rainfall gives the better picture.
The same storm behaves differently in May and October.
Because of what is already in the ground. Early in the wet season sand still has unsaturated depth beneath it and an afternoon storm disappears. By October the profile is full, the river is carrying its wet-season level, and the identical storm has nowhere to go. The rain did not change; the room in front of it did.
